On the sofa, I dream.sensible.swans.
In the kitchen, Brian.unloads.shopping.
My side of the bed is a hazy.traffic.salon.
Brian’s side is a lunging,humid.swordfish.
On the loo, I redouble.cracking.depravity.
Next door purifies.their songbirds.park.
Glastonbury folk have past-life flashbacks.
profess.knowledge. The Westminster crew
fence.garage are.unable. while the nation.
vibrates. feeling.
